My grafitti art work

                                We had to do an assignment where we had to draw our name in grafitti,
                                and I've gor a 7 for it. At first, I wanted to draw my whole name, which
                                is Elian. But I drew the letters too big, so I didn't have enough space to
                                draw the A and the N. So I drew my nickname, which is Eli. But when I
                                did that, I had left over too much space, so I filled that space with a big tree,
                                because I couldn't think of something better than that. So i'm glad with my
                                mark.

Pattern Snake assignment

                                We all had to draw a piece of a snake, and then draw some patterns
                                 in it. We had to start with two waving lines on each side of the drawing.
                                 The line had to begin and end 2,5 cm from each corner of the drawing.
                                 Then you had to draw the patterns with your pencil, and then with
                                 Indian ink. After everyone was done with it, our teacher collected all the drawings,
                                 and put them next to each other, making it look like a snake. I had a 7
                                 for it. Because, as you can see, I spilled too many ink. But i'm glad with
                                 my mark, anyway.
                             

The colour theory of Itten

      

The colour theory of Itten

Johannes Itten was born on the 11th of november, in 1888 in Südern-Lindern in Switserland. He was a painter, and he wanted to be teacher at the primary school. So he began to work on the Teacher Trainings Insitute in Bern. After that, he could be a teacher on secondary school, but he didn't want to teach there and became a painter. In 1913, he got Adolf Hölzel as his teacher.6 years later, in 1918, he began to teach at the Bauhaus in Weimar, and he teached there till 1922. A few years later, he became very succesful, and in 1926, he even had it'sa own art school. there also came a museum of him. He won prizes and wrote books about his colour theory. He eventually died on the 27th of May, November 1967.

 The colour theory of Itten: in the picture you can see the colour wheel of Itten. There are different types of colours :


Primary colours: are in the centre of the colour wheel: red, yellow and blue.


Secondary colours: are produced from the mixing of one primary colour with another. These colours are orange, green and violet.


Tertiary colours: are created when mixing one secondary and one primary colour. i.e. blue + violet =blue-violet. The tertiary colours are: yellow-orange, red-orange, red-violet, blue-violet, blue-green and yellow-green.


Complementary colours: are opposite on the colour wheel. Red and green, yellow and violet, and blue and orange, are the three simple pairs of complementary colours. These colours always go well with each other.


Warm colours: are colours we associate with the sun and fire. These are red, yellow and orange.


Cool colours: are colours we associate with the sea and cold, chilly weather. They are blue, green and some kinds of purple (blueish purple).


Adding white to a colour is known as a tint and adding black to a colour is referred to as a shade.

natural, man-made and applied patterns

                                                                                               

This is a photo from the piano  
in my living room. This is a photo of a

man-made pattern.                             







I have made this  photo from a pattern
of a tree. It looks a bit like a dog.
This is a natural pattern.

  

    This is my table-cover.                                              

It is applied, because this pattern is embroidery.

                                                                  

This photo is from a leaf. 

It was a bit hard to make a picture of it. 

It is a natural pattern.  

                                          

                                             

This is the pattern from my sweater. It is a man-made pattern.

                                                        

                                                        

                                          

A piece of art in my neighbourhood

                                      

This piece of art is called “Voor mijn Zeeuws-Vlaamse Anny”. It is made by Chris Ferket, who lived from 1929 to 2009. It stands on the Scheldekade in Terneuzen. I’ve chosen it, because for me, it stands for birth and love, and I think it is great that someone makes this to use as a kind of present.

 It is made from copper and stone.
